WRONG....

In the past 6 months I have been traveling back and forth from Brazil. There is a brand of organic sugar I love and of course bring a few bags back for baking, coffee, etc.

I asked AA at GIG and GRU if it was ok to carry this on... the answer was yes. I have gone though customs and TSA with bags of this sugar at JFK, LAX, DFW, MIA... NO PROBLEM.
This sugar is crystallized so it looks like sea salt.

This sugar is far superior to any sugar I've had in the US, I'm very picky about what I put in my coffee.

I was flying SAL-DFW on AA -- in SAL each gate going to the USA has its own security ran by the airline, AA in this case

I was trying to bring a sealed bag of sea salt (1lb) -- such bag I was told needed to be in checked bags -- I asked to see a printout with this rule, but was told that not all items are on the list.
